Easter Sunday
April 5, 2015
Fr. Mark’s Remarks
Easter is the greatest and the most
important feast in the Church for
three reasons:
1) The Resurrection of Christ is the
basis of our Christian Faith. It is the
greatest of the miracles, for it proves
that Jesus is God. That is why St. Paul writes: “If
Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is
in vain; and your Faith is in vain” (I Corinthians 15:14).
“Jesus is Lord, he is risen” (Romans 10: 9), was the
central theme of the preaching, of the Apostles. Jesus
prophesied his Resurrection as a sign of his Divinity:
“Tear down this temple and in three days I will
build it again” (John 2:19). The founder of no other
religion has an empty tomb as Jesus has. Besides, the
Jews or the Romans could not disprove Jesus’
Resurrection by presenting the dead body of Jesus.
The Apostles and the early Christians were absolutely
sure about the Resurrection of Jesus. Otherwise they
would not have faced martyrdom for a dead leader
lying in the tomb. The sheer existence of a thriving,
empire-conquering early Christian Church, bravely
facing and surviving three centuries of persecution,
supports the truth of Christ’s Resurrection.
2) Easter is the guarantee of our own resurrection.
Jesus assured Martha at the tomb of Lazarus: “I am
the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in
me will live even though he dies” (John 11: 25-26).
3) Easter is a feast which gives us hope and
encouragement in this world of pain, sorrows and
tears. It reminds us that life is worth living. It is our
belief in the Real Presence of the Risen Jesus in our
souls, in His Church, in the Blessed Sacrament and in
Heaven that gives meaning to our personal as well as
our communal prayer, strength to fight against
temptations and freedom from unnecessary worries
and fears.
Thank you to all who made the season of Lent and the
beautiful and solemn liturgies of Holy Week and
Easter the celebrations of faith, hope and love that
they have been. Thank you to the entire parish staff,
student interns and volunteers for your extra time
and energy.
On Sunday, April 19, Fr. Jerry Ploof will celebrate
his 40th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood at
the Noon Mass at St. John Church & Student Center.
Please plan to attend and let Fr. Jerry know what a gift
his ministry and presence has been to our parish
community at St. Thomas & St. John. Many blessings
to him in the years ahead, which we hope he will
continue with us here! He has been a great friend and
mentor as a brother priest.
Next Saturday, April 11 at 10:00pm EWTN will
air a one hour documentary on my uncle, Fr. Joe
Walijewski. His cause for canonization was opened
two years ago in recognition of his ministry in South
America and the impact it continues to have today in
Bolivia and Peru. The documentary was produced by
Bob Dolan who is the brother of Cardinal Timothy
Dolan, the Archbishop of New York. It was an honor
for me to be part of the production. For more about
the story and the life and legacy of Fr. Joe visit
www.frjoeguild.org.
Have a happy and blessed Easter Day. Onward to
Pentecost!
Books Available
The Little White Easter Booklets
(from the Diocese of Saginaw) are
available in the back of Church to help
you continue your celebration of the
entire Easter season beginning today
through the Feast of Pentecost. These are a great
follow-up to the Little Black Lenten Booklets with the
same 6-minute-a-day reflection for each day of the
Easter season!
Also available in the back of Church are A Minute in
the Church booklets (Volume II) by Gus Lloyd,
which offers one-minute answers to questions about
the Catholic Faith. Please take a moment to pick up a
copy of one (or both!) of these helpful booklets.
The Parish Buildings and
facilities will be closed on
Easter Monday,
April 6. There will be one
Mass at 6:30am at STA.
There will be no Mass or
Reconciliation at SJSC.
Due to STA School Spring break, there will not be a

Christian Service - Matthew 25
The Matthew 25 collection on Easter Sunday will be
split between two recipients:
Dominican Sisters-The mission of the Dominican
Sisters of Peace in Kingston, Jamaica, provides
emergency food and medical assistance for elderly
persons and summer programs for children living in
extreme poverty. The people served include families
living at a landfill in west Kingston.
CNEWA-support for the two remaining Catholic
hospitals in Baghdad. They will provide medical
equipment, medicine and support for care of poor
and orphaned children.
April 12: Macheo provides lifesaving nutritional
feeding to prenatal mothers and infants through three
months in the poorest slums of Kiandutu, in Kenya.
They also provide medical care to prevent infant and
maternal death.
Thank you for your generosity!
St. Vincent DePaul
Today, as we celebrate the feast of Easter,
we find the challenge of also seeing and
believing the resurrection that comes
through our own lives of self-sacrifice which
brings new life to others.
Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will
show the love of the Risen Christ by bringing your
love to those who live in fear and doubt, loneliness
and dread.
Operation Rice Bowls
If you have participated in this
wonderful almsgiving experience
during Lent, we ask that you return
your boxes to the parish office at either site so that
we can forward the funds collected as a parish family
to Catholic Relief Services. This Catholic agency
funds many worthwhile and much needed projects
and emergency-relief efforts throughout the world.
Throughout the year, individuals from the East
Lansing and Lansing areas as well as the MSU campus
approach our parish with an interest in learning
about the Catholic Church. They are all ages with
multiple backgrounds. But they do have one of two
things in common. Either they are approaching the
Catholic Church because of someone they
know. Or, they are inquiring because they have been
touched by the spirit of this community, the
enthusiastic singing, and the homilies at one of our
weekend Masses.
This Easter take a few moments to consider
someone you could invite to go to church with you
or someone you could invite to learn more about
the Catholic Church. It could be your spouse, a
boyfriend/girlfriend, a family member, a neighbor, a
classmate. Most people are timid about approaching
the Catholic Church. That is why your invitation can
be so helpful.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process
which helps people learn about the Catholic Church,
and, if they wish, eventually join the Church. If you,
or someone you know, has any questions about the
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), or
would like to discuss the possibility of joining the
next group of inquirers, call Pete Ries at 351-5460,
ext. 1328 or e-mail him at [email protected].
A new group of inquirers will begin Tuesday, May 12,
7:00 - 8:30pm and Sunday, May 17, 2:00 - 3:30pm,
both at St. John Church and Student Center.
Individuals choose the time which best suits their
schedule.
Prayers for the
Sick & Deceased
Please pray for all those who are ill,
especially Fr. Jake Foglio, Sarah Taylor,
Pam Czubak, Marlene Walser, Lisa
Nestor, Frank Tuma, William
Holtgreive, Susan Peters, and those listed in our book
of prayer.
We pray that those who by their sufferings shared
the passion of Christ and may share fully in the
victory of Christ’s exaltation. We remember Dr.
Francis Horvath, Dorothy Dale, Carole Ann Orr, Bill
Collins, and Taylor Wood.

One Student’s Alternative Spring Break:
Turn up the Volume
For Spring Break this year, I went to
Camden, New Jersey on Alternative Spring Break and
served at DeSale’s Service Works with an amazing
group of people. This is my third Alternative Spring
Break and my second time going to Camden. While
each ASB has its own unique experiences, challenges
and blessings, one thing that has stayed constant in
the groups that I have been a part of is the volume.
Every year someone comments on how loud we are.
At first, I felt the need to apologize because as a
naturally excited and outspoken person, I often catch
myself using my outside voice when I really shouldn’t
be. However, after a lot of thought, I came to the
conclusion that maybe being loud is not a negative but
rather a positive in the case of ASB and I began to
realize that it wasn’t just our voices that carried but
everything else as well. As Catholics, the students of
St. John go on ASB because they have a desire to
serve God’s children and as Spartans, they have the
desire to make a difference because, as we all know,
“Spartans Will”. However, as Catholic Spartans we
take our faith and add in our “expect loud, respect
loud” mentality and create a community of people so
on fire for life and for the Lord that it is impossible
for our volume not to be noticed by others.
Those who go on ASB, even if they are not naturally
boisterous individuals, like myself, are loud in their
excitement when they share their gratitude with
others. They are loud in service because Catholic
Spartans put in 110% of their heart to whatever
service they are performing. They are loud in late
night reflections and game nights because one of the
best parts of ASB, as well as St. John in general is
creating community and forming bonds that last. They
are loud through the love they show to those they
serve, and they are loud in their commitment to living
the way Christ taught them.
If there is anything that I have learned at Michigan
State, at St. John, and through my ASB experiences it’s
to never quiet my desire to serve others or quench
my passion to live through the words of Christ and
follow the Lord’s path for me. I’ve learned that
“Spartan’s Will”, but Catholic Spartans do with a love
loud enough for everyone to hear.

Discussion Group
Our reading group meets in April on
Thursdays, April 9 and 23, to discuss
two articles from Commonweal. This
Thursday, April 9, the discussion will be
on “An Interview with Cardinal Walter Kasper -Merciful God, Merciful Church.”
commonwealmagazine.org
During his first Angelus address, Pope Francis
recommended a work of theology that “has done me
so much good” because it “says that mercy changes
everything; it changes the world by making it less cold and
more fair.” That book is “Mercy: The Essence of the
Gospel and the Key to Christian Life”, by Cardinal Walter
Kasper. He was interviewed by two of Commonweal’s
editors; the interview can be found online. We meet
from 5:30-7:00pm in Room 12 (Library) at St. John.
All are welcome to join us.

I would like to invite you to join me for a Mass of
Thanksgiving at Noon, Sunday, April 19 at St. John

all the gift that I need. The people at St. John and
St. Thomas have become a very special part of my life

May God continue to bestow His blessings on all of us.
Faustina: The Apostle of
Divine Mercy
On Sunday, April 12, the Second
Sunday of Easter, we celebrate
Divine Mercy Sunday, as established
by Pope John Paul II.
Join us on Monday evening, April 13, 7:00pm, in
the Baraga Room at St. Thomas Aquinas, for this
DVD presentation on the life of Sister Faustina
Kowalska, a member of the Sisters of Our Lady of
Mercy, based on her experiences recorded in her
spiritual diary. She received from Our Lord the visions
of Divine Mercy early this century, and was both
beatified and then canonized in 2000 by Pope John
Paul II, making her the "first saint of the new millennium."
Speaking of Sr. Faustina and the importance of the
message contained in her Diary, the Pope calls her
"the great apostle of Divine Mercy in our time." Today,
we continue to rely on Saint Faustina as a constant
reminder of the message to trust in Jesus' endless
mercy, and to live life mercifully toward others.

Faith Sharing Questions For Next Sunday
We invite you to prepare for next Sunday’s liturgy (the
Second Sunday of Easter/Divine Mercy Sunday) by
reflecting on the Gospel:
Thank You for Your Generosity!
Thank you to everyone who has
shared the many blessings they have
received with your generous gift to our
Diocesan Services Appeal. If you have
not yet made a gift or a pledge, you are invited to join
the faithful of our parish community who have taken
an active role in the mission of the Church. Envelopes
are available at both churches. Our Parish goal is
$201,734 and $114,444 has been pledged to help us
reach that. We are at 57% of our goal!
John 20:19–31 Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins
you forgive are forgiven them and whose sins you
retain are retained. Peace be with you. Do not be
unbelieving, but believe. Blessed are those who have
not seen and have believed.
Questions: How often do my actions match my words?
How do I approach people throughout the day?
More reflections are available at elcatholics.org under
